Family Transforms Rare School Bus into STUNNING Tiny House: 2 Year Timelapse!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 янв 2021
- This is the complete school bus (skoolie) to tiny house conversion timelapse showing our transformation of a rare 1987 Gillig Phantom school bus only made on the West Coast from 1986 to 1992 and most have been crushed/scrapped. We bought it in November of 2017. We had no idea what we were doing but we figured it out and pushed through and finished it in late 2019. Building this Skoolie and documenting it on RUclips has lead us to leave our jobs and pursue an alternative American Dream, for better or worse!! Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.
If you're wondering about our dear friend Andrew you can read about him here: www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with.... RIP Andrew Lee 05/26/2019. I never would have made it home with our bus without the help of Andrew, and it was one of many gifts he gave me in life and death. Miss you buddy.

Glad you’re back!
It came up on my RUclips feed I love the tiny house ideas..
this man is one of those people who would survive the apocalypse
Haha! What a compliment. Thanks.
This is so true. This was so cool to watch.
And it's the fact that he did everything no help
the? 😳
The vax mark of the beast apocalypse
I liked how the whole family git involved in the project even baby carrying the wood 😂👍
Hello Jeanna how are you doing!!
On god 😂😂
Me too 😂
@@larrybill2661 hi
🤍
I can imagine the little girl, but grown up telling her friends on school:
*"Once my dad turned a school bus into a tiny house!"*
You mean a LITTLE little *little* BIG HOUSE
Haha
that’s a girl?
these idiots "bought schoolbus and made a motorhome" are the stupidiest people on earth... school buses besides very old are usually gas engine while urban city buses are diesel engines if you want to be one more "i awesome living on the road" try to at least be smarter... at least at begining
@@rafaellima381 opinions to yourself
I don’t understand why there’s so many dislikes to this video. The footage was awesome, the work is amazing, and the family is clearly close and are no strangers to hard work. God bless you guys. Awesome skills. I’m still mind blown here. 💖
Haha thanks! We're glad you were inspired by the video! It was hard work but worth it.
Crappy music!
The cutest part has got to be seeing the little one grow up awwwwwww
Uk I thought it was so cute when he installed the refrigerator.
Righhttt
Namjoon is your bias????
He is my bias tooooo☺️☺️
@@archanadeshmukh8050 i dont have a bias! 🤣 he just looks really good in this pic hahahah
P,weipmz
"30 years later" I got very concerned suddenly, and then very confused about the quality of the previous footage lol. Gorgeous project, must be so fulfilling :D
Lol same here
Lol me too. I was like 🤔 lol but it was a cute joke.
Look at the girl😂 (young)
This man, engineer, plumber, mechanic, designer, carpenter, electrician, driver, dad, husband, accountant, video maker, youtuber.. salute 👍👍👍👍👍
After building homes for 15 years and seeing the level skill you have all i can say is "WOW!!!" Awesome job.
Thanks Jason!

People are so negative!🤦🏻♀️
I think you guys did an amazing job together as a beautiful family and both you and your wife have an awesome bond and beautiful children. You’re home was created with love by the hands that built it. The camera work was exceptional and you sir are a wonderful hard working husband ( your wife too😊). May God bless you and your family ❤️.
Hi Mary
Hello Mary how are you doing!!
@Jaylen Hunt yeah we know we watched the video
@Jaylen Hunt I trailer is not tailored to someone's liking also trailers can't drive or go anywhere on their own it is special
Stop being so negative.
Pray the Most High blesses me with a husband with hard working hands in these last days. This is great!
It's the beginning days. Keep ya head up..
@@sunsetamor302 Not according to the word of my father and I keep my head in prayer 😊 thanks
In Jesus Name, may you have one. Amen
@@mixmickeymouzze The end sounds very hopeful I guess, we all believe in different things. I look to my the word of the mother. Each your zone. Bless
@@mixmickeymouzze whats the point of getting a husband if it's the end anyways, get together to die?
I was tensed when he said 30 years and then seeing old man working just gave me a shock for a while.🤦🏻
I would've loved a walkthrough after the finished project. Still super cool and amazing 😍🤩🥰
I gotchu ruclips.net/video/R2JNyuUJVaU/видео.html
@@MobileDwellings he gotchu
Wow, I smiled the entire video. The execution was so impressive. The team work and patience, was superb. Seeing the little one grow, was awesome, beautiful girl. Lastly, the Gump quote took me out and loved the music!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! God bless you all’s journey💗
So happy we got to make you smile with this video. Thanks for sharing that with us and some of the things that you liked about it. Forest Gump is my favorite movie! Take care. -Justin
Yes little helper was talking at end of video ,now that's time lapse.
I smiled too...
Such a lovely family, love how there all working together even the baby is helping 😊

“Anybody” cannot do this. Look at this mans skills!
You can do anything you set your mind to.
These days skills are very easy to learn. People just think you have to hire someone to fix everything. I’ve never went to school learn how to fix cars but I recently over a one week span fixed my while braking system, rotors, calipers, pads and hoses on my car and also fixed my ax compressor simply by watching RUclips videos. Even took the car to get a diagnostic and everything was fine and dandy. I saved a potential $3.5K I was going to have to pay the mechanics to do it.
Lmao. Anyone can do this. This man took 2 years on a 2 weeks max project.
@@rudeboy1431 stop being so negative
The possibilities are endless when a man has an amazing woman by his side.
Forwarding this to my sister and brother-in-law...they are both elementary school teachers and soon to retire. They have talked about doing this too...hopefully some inspiration for them. I think it's a GREAT idea.
You sister married a co worker?

Hi Adriana
@@richardanderson490 hello richard
@@greathostisghostthatsmed8819 Hi
When you have more skills then you have more ways in job. Also it's ease to live in hard situation.
Oh, and that baby girl dancing to the music melted my heart.😍😍😍😍😍
My husband and I are now getting close to our 70s after spending a lifetime in construction for our employment, and camping for our enjoyment, we have had a lot of different recreation vehicles including boats and an aeroplane, we have done work on most of them (we are now camping in an older model Ford trail light motorhome . Watching this video is amazing and I can’t wait for my husband to come in from outside shovelling snow to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch your amazing work unfold, awesome job with the video.
Hi Carolyn. It sounds like you've both had an exciting life with much more camping to come! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed my video and the work that we did. It was quite a process! - Justin
My dad is an engineer and one of her costumer request him to build an rv made of wood. He only required an engine and other components to make the vehicle move and he took almost a year to build it. We earned a lot of cash because of that costumer.
I love my dad he always does incredible things just to make me and my siblings get a healthy life. He works twice as hard after my mom died of cancer ❤️
That sounds really cool. An RV made of wood.
@@MobileDwellings Yes I am proud to spread the achievements my dad made
Oh my god, this is the most amazing video I've ever seen. I just can't believe it that you turned a old bus into a livable house on wheels. Your little daughter is so cute, I love it how she helps you carry the wood and dancing to the music.
She's so adorable!! ❤️👏👏👏
🔥🔥
May God bless you beautiful work and so sorry to hear about your friend and he rest in peace I don't understand why the thumbs down are up for but it's sad that people do that it's so so sad when people always have negative things to say when they don't even know what's really behind anybody's heart God bless you and your family always
Amen God continue blessing you all
What happened to him . I’ve not seen that

😍This is my dream when all my kids are grown and moved out. I could watch this all day just beautiful.💕God bless your family.
The story and growth was phenomenal, loved the music. Shed a few tears.
Well thought out plan. It is amazing that you all did everything by yourself without outside help. Great job!

This is so handy ....he know it all from construction to plumbing to electrical work.....he is every guy ...skill set dream
Awesome! Beautifully made. Great Dedication! May God bless you and your family!!🙏🤗💪This show that we don't have to buy a 150 Thousand Dollars house and most of the time they are used and not even in condition to live in. Plus the blessings of having a bus is that you don't have to pay Mortgage , house Ins, or Rent. Thank God for this bright men and women now they can explore the World with their beautiful children. 💯♥️
That was Awesome..😎✌
Love from India 🇮🇳❤
unbelievable !!! I had the obsession for projects like this when I was 28. After that your can not get enough energy to complete such a massive project. This is truly a work of art,
While I was building I was thinking about how much physical energy it took and I felt grateful that I was tackling it in my early 30's. But now that I've done it I think I've got a couple more builds in me before I tire out. Thanks for the compliment!

Hands down the best one I've seen n prayers up for u guys on the loss of your friend 🙏
What a journey and project! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us!
Wow....finally somone who actually somewhat knows what he's doing..... most people that do these conversions have zero idea what they're doing.... breath of fresh air.
Oh my goodness the devotion and motivation all of you put in astounds me! Enjoy the fruits for your labour, you all surely earned it! The end result is positively lovely and I’m so happy that you all had managed to complete your project! The school bus looks more like an RV now; maybe even better! Amazing!
It's all fun and games untill the bus rolls and breaks while the family is out, they see their work being destroyed, so sad
got me with the 30 years on....great job! All the best and have safe travels, from one traveler to another. Been almost around Australia in a Caravan with Mum & Dad didn't quite get to Tasmania then but i have been just lately, was going to Darwin to complete my trip around this month but borders were closed ...a real bummer
The best part of this video is how the family worked together! Bus looks great.

Какие прекрасные ребята!!! Удачи им во всем!!!
Thanks for sharing. It was beautiful to see your daughter grow. Mine is now 42. Hope you have a wonderful life.
I think this is the 1st time a YT video brought me to tears
Wow that's quite an honor I guess. Hope they were happy tears!
Wow, that is SO AMAZING to have all the skills to do all of it! Such dedication and hard work. What a blessing to enjoy the fruits of putting your whole heart into something.
Thanks for sharing the journey. 💗✨
You have a wonderful family and great work on the bus! Thank you for sharing.
This family craftsmanship is just amazing
Wow, just wow 🤩!! The work, and probably blood sweat and tears that must’ve went into making this is just incredible!! I salute you-all of you!! Great freaking job!! What a work of art/heart!!!
How is it feel living at the bus? Maybe I think it feel so comfortable and unique, it's different even though it's small the important is you have a shelter it's better unlike homeless. Good job ❤️👏👏👏
unlike homeless? what does that mean please?
@@jimcrawford5039 "homeless" it means is lacking stable and appropriate housing. People can be categorized as homeless if they are: living on the streets; moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends, family and emergency accommodation; living in private boarding houses without a private bathroom or security of tenure.
@@rantelozanojr.4492 No, He thinks it's kinda rude the way you said "unlike homeless"
Tanga ka ba? Pinagsasabi mo?
@@sanayeonnie1688 how do you know, you really shouldn’t speak for others 😊
Love this…entrancing to watch your creating while listening to the ethereal ‘love’ music.
This was the first skoolie build I watched and I've been enthralled ever since, lovely family, I know there have been additions since! Congratulations. That craftmanship.
This is called teamwork and hard work really appreciate this family 👏👍
imagine what a vibe that bus would be if the LEDS changed colour 😳
props to the man, he did 90% of this alone and still made time for his family
Enjoyed your hard work, 😓 producing not only a beautiful Family RV, but ‘togetherness’, that is priceless. Blessings ❤️
Time lapse much better than watching paint dry. Outstanding accomplishment.😎
Excellent build, looks like it was well planned and executed, GREAT JOB!
I enjoy watching you built this bus I enjoyed you taking us along with your family I enjoy them participating it’s very relaxing and the music is upbeat I love it fantastic video
30 years later... still working on the bus 🤣🤣🤣
Desde España, ¡gracias por mostrarnos vuestro increíble trabajo!
¡Internet es una hermosa herramienta!
Thank God for transforming the house. The relatives and your husband are greatful for tightening the loose ends.
Eres un genio que lo disfruten que Dios los .bendigan hermosa familia.
one of the most wholesome video I've ever watched.. 🥺 ❤️
You guys have amazing energy and your design was beautiful..God Bless your family always..thanks for the journey you shared with us!! 😀😀
This is what got me into living in a bus. I dont have a drivers lisence-
You guys are awesome! This is so inspiring 💛💛💛
☠️
It was eighteen minutes of joy. Thank you from France. ❤️
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Everyone dream living on road. Love to watch your journey across our great America
Transformation is amazing, and so is the playlist 🔥🔥
Pure admiration of your dream implemented in endurance, perseverance and outcome. Love the life you're given bc even though you earned every moment not all are as able. Savor the beauty and experiences of the investment again not all have the freedom of being free. Love is certainly in your corner.
That Smile of baby... So cute 😍
This is absolutely nuts! The devotion and dedication is impressive!
Incrível, parabéns e boa viagem.
I'm not impressed with the" rarity" of the school bus ,but I am impressed with the conversion of the bus!!!
This was a very impressive conversion. A lot of detail and hard work went into this!!
These two persons are legends that motivate us without saying saying something ❤️
This is really amazing.
I would do this if I could.
But I don’t really go out places that much….but of I didn’t would be an good project to do.
The transformation journey is amazing!....

this guy is off the chain, amazing builder
the fact that we also witnessed the child grow up is amazing!!!!!
I was smiling for 18 mins 🥺😂
love to hear that. thanks for sharing.
Same quality content
This looks amazing. My only question is where does the waste go from the bathroom. It can't just drain to the ground, right?
Presumably they did it like an RV with a black and grey water tanks for the shower as for the toilet it seems to be a compost toilet
@@MiguelAngel-kz5ku if it's a compost toilet then it should be self contained and just emptied and cleaned when needed so no need for tanks for that
Yes
this is always a dream to me because my grandparents always had a camper. I always would think about my friends and I going on a trip for fishing, camping, or hunting.
Looks great most people don't have carpenter skills or the desire to finish a job this big but when your with a person that has drive it makes it real
Can't quit. Just gotta keep going.
I was thinking about doing this just this morning and I’m excited to know that someone has actually done it already. It’s possible! It’s doable! I wish I can too.
Parabéns muito bonito o seu projeto 👏🙏 deus abençoe sempre vc e sua família 🙏
The baby and the dog are the supervisors.

You gave total insight on quality, time line,Hard work,Cost,and a beautiful family.

I Love The Way They Make The Bus Into A House

I can’t stop watching this video. I especially love the hammocks in the beginning.
wow! I know somebody who had a second tiny house in a bus too. it's also crazy to see the baby grow so much!
